There is a separate utility boot room with a washing machine and freezer. The dining table is the perfect setting in the conservatory for everyone to gather around and enjoy a meal together overlooking the garden. The library hall has an open fire and is perfect for cosy nights in, while the pretty playroom, with Smart TV, is perfect for the little ones.

What a cottage. Great surroundings with plenty of walks from the doorstep. Visited surrounding areas Conway, Llandudno and a stop of at Abergelee on the way home. The Lodge caters for large groups with a superb kitchen which is the heart of the Lodge. Two magnificent log fires to sit by and cosy up to on a chilly day. Five stars from the May family

This is a fabulous place to stay. The location is perfect; quiet, rural and beautiful for walks and relaxing. The Lodge is well equipped, with lots of basics provided for cooking, making that first night so easy. And the welcome hamper, fresh flowers and surprise cake in the fridge was such a lovely touch. We will definitely be going back!

What a lovely house in a lovely location. Walks from the door are great, and the river and wildlife it attracts is wonderful to see.

Far enough away from town to be peaceful yet close enough to Denbigh for a food shop or take away. Perfect! Hide
